Whatsup everybody,
This week marked the first day of school for me at Palo Alto High School. I walked around our large campus, full of air-conditioned rooms, trees, and flowers. I met all of my well-trained, seasoned teachers. I got to see all of my friends that I had missed over the summer, and despite all of the work that I will begin to get, it was a fun day.
Now, some 3,000 miles away, imagine that I attended an "ordinary" Haitian school. I wouldn't walk around a campus, but rather around an over-populated tent city. There are no air-conditioned rooms, trees, or flowers. Instead, there are cramped, hot, and open tents surrounded by rubble and destruction. There are limited amounts of teachers for the few kids that are lucky enough to attend school. Unfortunately, this is not imagination, but rather the reality for students in Haiti. We are working as hard as we can to improve the situation, but there is no quick solution for the infrastructural problems that currently exist.
Just something to think about as we embark on one more year of school.
-One Love.
